The Heartless Manor is a casual walk-in role play thread. This means that anyone can walk in and participate at any time. Our story lines tend to be more casual (happening naturally, rarely with too much planning) and faster than most other threads.

This first post is the only post you have to read. All the other posts on this page are for additional information if you stick around and are interested. This post will serve as notice for events, important plot notes, and rules.

Important Plot Points
►Vampire Note: In this thread, being bitten by a vampire does not automatically turn the victim. The victim either needs to feed after being bitten or die with the virus still in his/her veins.

As you make your way along the streets of Barton town, you find yourself upon a stony path leading up a slight incline. As the hustle and bustle of the shops in town fade into the background, you are nearing the outskirts of the market. The stony path becomes less and less pronounced, evidence that you are taking a road less traveled. As you gaze upon the road ahead of you, you find an old Victorian style house directly ahead.

Although it is not cold outside, you feel a slight chill in the air as you reach unfamiliar territory. You see a porch light is lit, as well as some lights inside, indicating life and activity. Goosebumps rise on your flesh, but you find the lights oddly comforting, as if promising a better life behind the large oak doors.

You now find yourself standing before the steps to the front door, pondering the simple question of whether or not to venture inside. However, the longer you wait the more curious you become about what lies inside. From the shadows, a small creature forms, scurrying before your feet, startling you; a heartless. The creature has peaked your curiosity, and you make the decision to enter. Welcome to the Heartless Manor

Welcome Back!
For those of you who have visited the Heartless Manor in the past, I hope you share the same delight in seeing us re-opened. The management is very similar to the old management. The owner is Saria [String x Theory] . The Heartless is a casual role playing atmosphere. On occasion we will have set story lines but we generally prefer a "roll with it" plot. You do not need to read a novel before posting (just the rules!). You also do not need to post a novel to participate. We tend to be a little more fast-paced so if you are a slower player you may get left behind.

Please make sure you read the rules before posting.

The Heartless Manor offers:

-A bar filled with every imaginable food and drink
-A lovely seating area within the bar room
-Rooms for travelers ~ Free!
-A comfy ball room for parties and meetings
-A beautiful beach side stay
-A full length pool {with diving board}
-A healing room, completely fitted with xray and surgical equipment (usually referred to as the Lab)
-Training/Fighting facilities in the basement
-Forest surrounding the manor
-Just a short walk into town
-And even more!

Ralic picked up the small child, bouncing her lightly as he looked over at her mother. For some reason, his thoughts had been much in the past, which always stirred the a question. "Do you ever wish you and Dragon would have worked out?" he asked curiously. He really hoped that her answer would have been no but there was a part of him that believed that she may say otherwise.

Saria raised an eyebrow at the sudden question. "No," She responded without hesitation. "Dragon was like a weird fling. Not to mention, he's related to Vince, and it was near impossible to be connected with that leach in any way." She finished her glass of wine and placed the glass into the nearby sink. "Besides, you always had my heart. It just took you a couple of years to find it again."

Ralic smiled brightly at her answer. It made him feel better that he at least had something that Baskin Robins didn't, and one of the only things that mattered; Saria and Melissa. "Sorry about the out of the blue nature of the question. I've just been thinking back at lot lately," he explained as he made his way over to her. Between strides, he placed a soft kiss on his daughter's head. "You almost had a brother, Mel."

Ralic laughed as Melissa asked why she didn't have a brother. "Well, he went off to do grown up things," he answered, not really knowing the appropriate answer since he couldn't quite recall. "And it'd be hard to get you another one because when mommy was pregnant with you..." his voice died down, "...she was a little crazy," he added with a smirk.

Ralic chuckled, yet again at his daughter's response. "She's still a bit crazy though, isn't she?" he asked playfully, his eyes flickering to Saria and then back to Melissa. Saria seemed to be a bit out of it, but he knew she'd come back to it. Bouncing the child in his arms a bit, he adjusted his hands so she could toss her in the air lightly. "You're flyinggg!"
